Herbal Medicine is the use of botanical ingredients to address health conditions and
support general health and wellbeing. The World Health Organization estimates that 88%
of all countries use traditional medicine, including herbal medicine. Over 40% of
pharmaceutical formulations are based on botanical active ingredients, including landmark
medicines such aspirin and artemisinin.

Although there are many herbal medicine products available on the market, taking herbal extracts without professional guidance can pose certain risks such as: 1)
poor quality extracts; 2) not taking the right dose; 3) possible contra-indications with other herbs, supplements or medication. That’s why it’s so important to see a
qualified herbalist like Vera who has a deep understanding of herbs and their biochemistry. Vera is able to source and advise on high quality herbal products as well
as on effective and safe doses.
Depending on the client’s needs and preferences, Vera is able to prescribe herbal extracts in the form of:
•
Commercially available supplements
•
Custom-made herbal medicine formulations as tinctures, powders or dried herbs
Please, note that supplements and herbal remedies are not included in the consultation fee.
